Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a mobility management method, user equipment, and a base station. The mobility management method may include: receiving, by user equipment UE in a connected mode, a source identifier of the UE from a first base station, where the source identifier is used to uniquely identify the UE in the first base station; entering, by the UE, a low-overhead state in the case that a low-overhead activation condition is satisfied, where in the low-overhead state, the UE stores a connection context of the UE in the connected mode, and camps on a cell according to a cell reselection criterion during movement; and reporting, by the UE when a first preset condition is satisfied, the source identifier to a second base station to which a second cell belongs, where the second cell is a serving cell on which the UE currently camps.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the short source identifier is partial information of the long source identifier.
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the short source identifier is independent of the long source identifier.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein both the long source identifier and the short source identifier comprises a first base station identifier and the first UE identifier that identifies the terminal in the first base station.
6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the short source identifier is partial information of the long source identifier.
7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the short source identifier is independent of the long source identifier.
8. The method according to claim 5, wherein both the long source identifier and the short source identifier comprises a first base station identifier and the first UE identifier that identifies the terminal in the first base station.
10. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the short source identifier is partial information of the long source identifier.
11. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein the short source identifier is independent of the long source identifier.
12. The terminal according to claim 9, wherein both the long source identifier and the short source identifier comprises a first base station identifier and the first UE identifier that identifies the terminal in the first base station.
14. The second base station according to claim 13, wherein the short source identifier is partial information of the long source identifier.
15. The second base station according to claim 13, wherein the short source identifier is independent of the long source identifier.
16. The second base station according to claim 13, wherein both the long source identifier and the short source identifier comprises a first base station identifier and the first UE identifier that identifies the terminal in the first base station.
